Tarantula Boss COMING to Grounded 2: SEPTEMBER 16th !! (Updated)

Fans have been waiting for the biggest and baddest arachnid to crawl out of hiding, and now it’s officially confirmed. We first spotted his terrarium sitting right above the ice cream cart on the map, marked with the name AXL—and lore even ties him back to a recent purchase straight from Noah’s Pet Shop. This monstrous predator might just be the most terrifying challenge the backyard has ever seen.

Size-wise, it’s beyond ridiculous—towering over Orb Weavers and Wolf Spiders like they’re nothing. But the nightmare factor doesn’t stop at size. This beast can burrow underground mid-fight, unleash a spine-shaking scream that rattles players to the core, and according to the devs, prepare to die. A lot. This won’t just be a boss fight—it’ll be full-blown survival mode.

And yes, your Orb Weaver Buggy is more than just welcome here—it’s recommended! 🚙🕷️ Rolling into one of the craziest battles Obsidian has designed is going to feel like chaos turned up to eleven.

Rewards? Oh, they’re stacked. The Tarantula Great Bow—comically massive and forged from the beast itself. Tarantula Chests with boosted storage. A Tarantula Throne and themed furniture to flex in your base. And that’s not even the end of it. Leaks and datamines hint at even more—Tarantula Armor, vicious Tarantula Daggers, and maybe even a full weapon set across every archetype. If all of that lands, this loot table could outclass anything we’ve seen before.

No exact release date has been locked in, but it’s confirmed to be coming this fall. The only question now is: will you survive?
